The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of NGC 4694, a galaxy that possesses unusual properties that complicate its classification.

Astronomers have created a 3D map of the massive elliptical galaxy Messier 87 and gotten a better estimate of the mass of its central supermassive black hole.

The majority of the thousands of galaxies we’ve discovered out in the universe fit into relatively well-defined categories: spiral galaxies like our Milky Way, elliptical galaxies which are long ...

Summer in the Northern Hemisphere will be shorter this year than last year by about 15 minutes, according to Timeanddate.com.

Its thousands of galaxies are like a swarm of bees, buzzing around a giant core of enormous elliptical galaxies ... If you’re up after midnight, you can catch giant planet Jupiter rising in the ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy.

Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of signals.

The telescope also picks up Jupiter’s faint rings, which are only one-millionth the brightness of Jupiter itself, against a backdrop of even fainter and farther galaxies.

A new supercomputer simulation reveals why spiral galaxies like our Milky Way are strikingly scarce in our pocket of the universe.

After running simulations on the planet, the researchers determined that its orbit is evolving into that of a hot Jupiter through a process called high-eccentricity migration.

New dynamical computer models show that life here on Earth was likely given a push and a pull from our own planet Jupiter. Our farflung gas giant has enough gravitational oomph to largely dictate ...
